4. Go Back in Past
Rugs and diamonds. They have a lot in common. One thing stands for both. They never go out of fashion. So, when you don’t know how to brighten your living room with a rug, just go back in time. Pick a classic one. Rugs have been around for centuries. Some shapes, sizes, and forms of creation have been around for millennia. You have Chinese ones, Persian ones, and even Europe has a game in this department. You could even argue that some American contemporary products have that touch of history to them. If not in anything else then in the patterns used. So, when you’re in a pinch always walk it back, and pick a product that has a historic tone. With rugs, this shouldn’t be an issue.

Not in black like Metallica would suggest, but fading away the colors you have in your living room could brighten up the space. Yes, we’re all in for colors, but we’re not shy of suggesting that a different approach could benefit your living space. It all depends on the amount of light you’re receiving. Some colors absorb light better than others. So, a different approach might be the right solution. So, not to have a distraction from the natural light your living space is blessed with, you could always try removing colors from your space. Pale gray or pale blue might be the best route to go with your rug.
6. Sphere it Up
Yes, we do love some spheres. You don’t? Well, change your opinion. This is the best moment to do it. Your rug and your living room deserve a change of opinion. We’re back in the color department. The best route to take when brightening your space is to consider spherical shapes. It goes both ways. You could apply it to your furniture, but as we love to say, finish with furniture but start with a rug. We’re not only talking about a sphere-shaped rug but also a sphere-themed one. This is what Hans Landa would call a Bingo!
